My front lights work fine but no back lights. I do have break lights. My fuse is good, power to the fuse. I'm not finding where the brown wire from the switch goes next... Better yet, if I knew where the brown wire from the rearend enters the corkpit I could hook power to it to isolate my problem. It is definitely a front half, back half problem... just don't know where the back half starts.

Hi David, I haven't been there yet on my cars so I don't have any answers off the top of my head. A few years back a couple of members were offering to email complete schematics of any year on request, if that offer is still available, it would be posted in the archives in the forums column in the upper left corner. You can click your way into all kinds of info from the drop down menu (community forums), of course you may have already been there. I'll take a peek and see if I can turn anything up. In the mean time, maybe someone with this info may chime in.

Thanks Jimmy,

I did go there and this is where I found the disconnect that looks like the one on the steering column. The problem is... it doesn't show the other side of the disconnect or say where it is located.

Look in the rear compartment, all the way in the back, on the driver side, towards the floor. That's where the harness goes thru the bulkhead. You'll find a connector there, I believe....

Keep in mind while searching,  This sounds very much like a bad ground.  Maybe not, but it's a common problem.

That's what I was thinking to begin with but kinda went away from that because there's three grounds for the back and only one for the front... chances for all three being bad....? I just want to find this wire so I can jump it all the way to the back to see what happens.

Well... Can we all say Bozo at the same time? Maybe even throw in a quick Dip-Shiiiit! The guy that had the car before me had put in a new carpet and seats... guess what he "HACKED" through when cutting the hole in the carpet? That's right! There's a bundle of wires (7 wires) that runs along the floor just inside the door. He had cut through four of them and sliced into a couple of the others, which is why I had brake lights but nothing else.
